Temples & Ashrams
The temples and ashrams of Udasin Panchayati Naya Akhara are more than places of worship — they are centers of spiritual learning, meditation, and service. Spread across India, each ashram reflects the Akhara’s deep-rooted values of purity, discipline, and devotion to Sanatan Dharma. These sacred spaces welcome all seekers to connect with divine wisdom and experience inner peace through satsang, seva, and spiritual guidance.
Main Headquarters (Varanasi)
Varanasi: The Spiritual Heart of the Akhara
Nestled along the sacred ghats of the Ganga in Varanasi — one of the oldest living cities in the world — the main headquarters of Udasin Panchayati Naya Akhara holds deep spiritual, historical, and cultural significance. It is not only the administrative center of the Akhara but also a spiritual powerhouse where saints, disciples, scholars, and devotees gather throughout the year.
This divine seat of the Akhara functions as a guiding force for all its branches across India. Daily spiritual practices such as aarti, bhajan, path, satsang, and Vedantic discourses are conducted under the guidance of senior saints. Special events, religious festivals, and saintly assemblies (Sadhu Sammelans) take place here, fostering unity and devotion within the Udasin tradition.
The Varanasi headquarters also houses a well-maintained library of ancient scriptures, meditation halls, and living quarters for resident saints and visiting devotees. It is a place where seekers find not only religious teachings but also personal transformation through discipline, service, and deep inner reflection.
Carrying forward the legacy of revered Udasin Acharyas, the Varanasi Ashram remains the living embodiment of the Akhara’s timeless motto — “Dharma, Seva, Sanyas, and Shiksha.”
Branch Ashrams (Haridwar, Ujjain, Nasik,)
Haridwar – Gateway to Devotion and Discipline
Haridwar holds a special place in the spiritual journey of the Udasin Panchayati Naya Akhara.

It serves as a vibrant location for spiritual training, Kumbh Mela participation, and year-round religious activities. The Akhara’s Haridwar ashram is known for its strong spiritual discipline, regular satsangs, and commitment to preserving Vedic traditions.

The Ujjain branch of the Akhara stands proudly in one of India’s most ancient and mystical cities, home to the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga. This sacred location plays a vital role during the Simhastha Kumbh Mela and remains active throughout the year with deep scriptural learning, spiritual practices, and guidance under senior saints. The ashram in Ujjain reflects the Akhara’s commitment to Shaivism, inner purity, and the path of renunciation.

Situated in the holy city associated with Lord Rama’s exile, the Nasik branch of Udasin Panchayati Naya Akhara provides a serene and austere environment ideal for meditation, learning, and selfless service. It is an important site during the Kumbh Mela and continues to uphold the Udasin values of simplicity, detachment, and scriptural study.
